Crazy. Spinning tops are not new, with their earliest use dating back to 1250 BCE in China. It’s surprising that they’re still available right now, just in different variations and modifications.
Speaking of variations, we’ve come across this fascinating spinning top by LIMBO. At first glance, it might look like the modern version of the classic toy, but did you know it can spin for more than four hours?
The sleek CNC-machined spinning top can spin on any surface thanks to its design. Its tip was created using stainless steel, giving it excellent durability and power to spin for hours. Additionally, the top has a custom-made motor that allows it to spin at an angular, steady movement at 1000 RPM.
Additionally, the toy won the Guinness World Record for the longest-spinning mechanical top, spinning for a whopping 27:09:24 hours. We’d like to note that this was done in an incredibly controlled environment– but that’s still long.
Users only need to charge the toy's battery for 40 minutes so that it can spin for more than 4 hours. Learn more about this technological marvel here!
